St. Michael's Church (Long Branch)

St. Michael's Church is a Roman Catholic church located on 800 Ocean Avenue in Long Branch, Monmouth County, New Jersey. It was founded in 1886 to represent the ever-increasing number of largely-Irish Catholic female servants working in non-Catholic households and the nearby hotels, casinos, and racetracks. It was a "mission church" until 1892, when it became an independent church.
